Sarah - I'm 100% sure everyone here is proud and amazed at what you have accomplished!! Congrats! The cherry on top was the perma-smile you had while driving it around. It's a beautiful car.
I still remember seeing the TT as a concept car in a book when I was a kid, then watching in amazement as it became an actual thing that you could see on the roads. For a model that’s over 20 years old, it still looks futuristic. Great job restoring and even improving on the original design!
This styling of this car had such a big impact when it came out and looked like nothing else. Even Toshiba laptops of the period used the styling cues of the headlights in their screen casing. Your sense of style really shines with this car and what you have done is brilliant and has been very entertaining to watch. Congratulations on the achievement. ✔
Great job with the TT. I bought one new back in 06 , the 225 model. I upgraded turbo, intercooler, fuel pump, rails, injectors, clutch, exhaust (3 1/2" straight from turbo back to Borla muffler), blow off valve, all new cooling, turbo , intake piping. Two shops did work and then, tuning. I had that little beast dynoed at crazy (for the time) 485HP, 465TQ (crank). I could easily beat Z06s, turboed 350z's ect...... it was a little monster. I had all upgrades done at 14k miles and absolutely drove the p-ss out of it until 95k miles, with luck and proper routine maintenance, not a single thing on the car ever broke. That car was such a blast.
Sarah, It has been a real treat to watching and listening to you this year. Your very good in front of the camera and, and (a stutter...) you somehow seem to stay very clean while wrenching. Your beauty and brains mixed with common sense and patience make you an uncommon UA-camr. I wish you all the success in the future. I be watching. Thank you.
This is the first time I've seen a build online where I liked everything that was done to it and wouldn't change anything. Not that my opinion and tastes mean anything, but well fucking done! Whoever won this is lucky!
I enter 3 vehicle giveaways a month and this giveaway bay far is the most I spent my time and money on. The fun is shopping for items and hand printing the ink on each postcard I mailed was fun. Still! the odds of me winning are low but the daydreaming of owning my 1st project car was worth it and very entertaining. My boring days at work all this month were less boring because of the dream... the what if.....factor. GL to all in getting this gem! I hope you do this again in the future as well.
...and, whyyy did you choose to give TT away - All that love/meticulous attention, cost/time invested, etc...you get a really nice custom Porsche like German greatness ~ only true love is found when you can let someone go/too be Selfless ~ ahh' hogwash ~ I will say; it was extremely nice of you {no reply expected} needed 😪 IT'S BETTER THAN ONE THAT WAS BOUGHT NEW ~ some very nice work done Miss Leonardo Da'Vinci 🎨🖼🖌
As a proud owner of a MK1 VR6, these cars truly are special given the timeless design and rarity (here in the US anyway.) Even after years of ownership, I still look back at it after parking and that’s an appreciation that is truly indicative of a future classic. Kudos to you for all the hard work you’ve put towards what is a vehicle that deserves it.
Watched you fighting with this car from the beginning on. Finally you made a perfect giveaway out of this. Great job Sarah. Honest review. 😉Ende gut, alles gut, as we say in Germany. ✌️
I previously owned a 98 A4 V6 Quattro 5spd and a 01 TT Coupe Quattro 180 5spd . My current ride is a 2018 TT "Competition pkg" Coupe Quattro 220 w/ 6spd DSG.......Now really...Who could be a better owner candidate than me? (if your TT masterpiece is still available)...Love you/your vids ...Kevin
It wasn’t a labor of love, at least not on the TT’s part. It fought you hammer and tong all the way. It qualified as a problem child and you still managed to show love to it despite it’s fighting you the entire time. Those of us who were there from the beginning can say we remember when it was extremely uncooperative! You deserve a medal for patience and perseverance on this journey. I was ready to call in an air strike on it in your behalf. No one should have to put up with this much grief. You’re exceptional in every way and you have great help to! Cheers Sarah and lots of love to you for this monumentous effort over time!😃👍🏻💖
Thanks, Borg Warner, for building the 02M with crappy, breakable, brass Gear-Selector Forks; really enjoyed taking my Transmission out to replace the Notorious broken brass rivet! - 🖕🏼
I'm a big fan of things wierd. Love you... lol If I were to win this, I promise to let you give it the full beans before taking position. You put so much of you into this car, I have no idea how you could give it away....You Rock!!!!
Congratulations. Well done. Always liked the lines to the TT. Interior is top notch, Corbeau seats, rear seat delete, and all the fine details you addressed. I cracked up when you gave the wrench score of 1.4.
Sarah, we all love you but I'm afraid that wonderful feeling is just not going to transfer to the Audi. I'll look forward to your next adventure and your awesome innuendos, and maybe I'll keep hoping that a wardrobe malfunction will sneak past editing. Until next time, thanks for the great fun.
The first Sarah-n-Tuned video I saw was when you were doing some of the early suspension upgrades, and it's been quite the ride to get it done. I agree it's got a lot of character and tons of old-school charm, both things missing from most of today's computerized safety pods. With all the upgrades and general repair work you've done, I wouldn't be surprised if this car is actually pretty reliable, despite Audi's reputation of cars that become money pits once they are a few years old. I hope whoever wins this truly appreciates how unique it is and doesn't just turn it into a museum piece that never gets back out on the road where it belongs.
Congratulations Sarah on 400k!!!!! You and your channel deserve it. Can't wait to congratulate you on 500k! The TT looks amazing. It amazes me on how some cars look a little gimmicky when new, but look up to date 20 years later. That Tot is one of those cars.
It looks absolutely amazing. You’ve done an incredible job with Tater Tot. I know it’s a little bittersweet to say goodbye. ❤️❤️ we can’t wait to see what other amazing projects you do in the future! Now go take some time off. You need some r&r after this!
So happy you were able to finish it in time to do one your wonderful reviews. When you were giving the final scores, you were a little emotional and it makes sense. You put so much time, energy, and money into this project and wound up with something that is so much better than what you started with. Love your channel!
Hi Sarah, you've made one of the best TTs going. Congratulations on the years of hard work paying off. I've always wondered one thing, how does a woman who works in cars almost daily keep such stunning looking nails? 💅🤔🙂
By By Teeter Tot! Not my favorite car at all but you did such an amazing job on it, Sarah. Whoever gets it is getting a better than new TT. Good luck to him/her. Such a nice thing for you to do Sarah giving this car away. You are truly a class act. Weird and awkward (which is why we love you) but a class act none the less.
Congrats on 400K!!! Still hope I win in spite of how much of a pain in the ass that car has been for you over the years. You did a great job bringing it to where it is now.
Tenacity is what you have Sarah to complete a project like this...I have been a German car mechanic going on 37 years now - I entered to win...however knowing these cars so well, I pray I don't - even though you made it one of the best TT's in the country 😉
I never understood this 8n TT story was problematic. I have a TT 8n 1.8 T 180 since 2006 and never had a single problem with it. Basically, it's just maintenance and nothing else, now it's 190,000 km. Maybe I'm very lucky, or maybe I just know how to estimate my car so I don't get any nasty surprises.
I can't believe how fast 3.5 years just flew by! You definitely killed this project, this car is now (hopefully) a legitimate daily driver that you can have fun in, and there was many times you wanted to turn your back on it, but you didn't. I just want you to understand this Sarah: you've definitely inspired many people with your dedication and I hope you never stop doing what you love. It's just nice to have a purpose in life, you know, even if that purpose constantly gives you headaches and frustration, the end result is worth it.
This came out AMAZING! Now go take a rest! Lord knows you've earned it after this fuster cluck of rushing and parts lost in the mail. Congrats! Oh, one more thing - when I win this, will you sign the glove box? Charlie too.
Sarah, your journey with the TT has been interesting to watch. I’m the TT owner in Colorado that sent you the Schnell license plate and the jump drive of TT “stuff”. I found your channel while searching for anything TT related and jumped in very early in the adventure. Your growth as a presenter, wrench turner, and humorist, has been amazing. I’m hooked and look forward to your following builds. A thought if I may, and as you noted in the last video that TT was DOA, dead on arrival. It saddened me a lot that someone or some series of owners abused the car that much. You did what I sure most of us thought you could do and not only breath life in the car, but sent it to the beauty salon and the gym. On a last note, please don’t continue to share that Audi(s) break all the time. I’ve had in this order (1990 90 20vq/2001 A4 Avant 1.8t quattro/2002 TT 1.8t 225 coupe, quattro/2005 TT 1.8t 225 roadster, quattro/2005 TT 1.8t 225 coupe, quattro/and my wife’s 2000 TT 1.8t 180 coupe, quattro) we have put the better part of ½ a million miles on them and the only real “ag” was the “bomb” (pressure vessel) in the 90 20v that need replaced more than I thought was necessary. Heck the Audi(s) have given me less problems than the several Porsche(s) I’ve had. Please keep up the great work, and I look forward to hearing what car you’re replacing the TT with.
Exactly. I have a TT 8n 1.8 T 180 fwd since 2006. I never had a problem with it, and it is currently 190,000 km. It has always been well cared for, and it is an extremely solid car.
Bonjour à vous mes amis Je suis français et je rejoins votre avis. Je suis l'heureux propriétaire d'une Audi TT 1.8 180cv 49833 miles et j'ai aucun problème avec ce véhicule que je trouve parfait car il est solide et élégant à la fois. J'ai 31 ans et malgré qu'il existe des modèles bien plus prestigieux je l'ai toujours trouvé a mon gout déjà a l'âge de 7 ans son design futuriste m'avait beaucoup attiré et elle a magnifiquement bien vieilli. Futur voiture de collection. En tout cas pour ma part je suis très heureux à son volant et j'apprécie beaucoup regarder ça ligne lorsqu'elle est stationnée. Je pense sincèrement que le 1.8T est un moteur très solide
Great review Sarah! Thank you for all of the hard work, blood, sweat and tears you put into this project. Also, thank for you the time you spent editing the video and now that it's done I hope you can get some quality down time.
Congrats on hitting 400k. Loved the journey with the TT, it’s been fun to watch and damn you sorted that car out. The improvements are spot on for that car.
your braking issue is because bushings are collapsing and it ends up with massive toe-out, you can clearly see from the footage of the front wheel at 10:25
Nice to see our favorite Short Stuff again, even if it's only in a flashback. "The little Audi that could" has really come a long way! Congratulations on such a great achievement, your hard work has really paid off.
I had a 2000 1.8t for 4 years 10 years ago, it was very reliable, only thing was the last year i had it my window on the passenger side went bad. Loved it so much!! Just watch out for that oversteer snapback ob rain and snow.
Congratulations Sarah I’ve watched every moment you’ve filmed on this project and your standards of work and cleaning abilities stand there with the very best It’s going to be the best one ever built I love mine but it’s standard and on snow tyres just for a Scottish winter I love your mods especially those seats How you can part with it I’ll never know 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I remember when you drove it home, a miracle it made it. I lost track of how many times you took that front bumper cover off. The best part of this video is how happy you are driving it.
I love the emotional attachment to the car you have. Only car people will get it. Hardest car for me to part with was my 2004 Cobra. Was my dream car and owned it for 5 years. Miss it everyday! Great build and I'm sure the winner will be stoked to get it!
Great review! I confess, that I got a little emotional watching you do this video because of all the time and work you put into it. It felt like we were there with you along the way.
I’m going to miss your Teeter-Tot ‘adventures’. It’s been - for me, if not for you - immensely entertaining. If I were younger and lived on that side of ‘The Pond’, I would love to try to win this car, but as I’m old and live in the U.K., I guess I’ll have to stick with the car I already have. Oh yes, did I mention that it’s an Audi? Thanks, Sarah. x
Teeter Tot is a brand new car. You did a fabulous job on this old Audi. It really sounds great and better than the TT we wrecked on Mission Impossible II. I would love to own this car.
Congratulations Sarah , I rember watching your video when you drove to back from Utah, very nice build the new owner will have much fun cruising 😀 in tt
I’ll bet you’re glad to be finished with it😄 it looks great and seems to keep you happy regarding all the upgrades and final performance. A successful project, well documented and impressive in it’s completed form. I hope it’s new owner appreciates what you’ve done as your thinking and efforts border on art. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I’ll be hotly anticipating the next project.
I have never seen you smile this much while doing a car review. Just look at her smile when she is going to show the undercarriage of the TT. Emotional Sarah. Very understandable 👌 👏. Great job. 👍
I think you did an amazing job, time considered, doing it yourself, and the original condition in consideration! Would love to own it and meet you in the process! Love your videos and content, keep up the great work!
The time and money you put into thjs thing must be hitting the 60 grand territory. So it`s safe to say this has to be the best resto TT on youtube. I hope it ends up worth your while. It definitly will be to the person that wins it.
You really think it’s that much?! That’s double what I would have guessed. One thing Sarah doesn’t do a lot of is breaking down costs and prices of projects. Not a big deal, but it is always interesting to know. Being a detailer/car flipper, I always look for all the automotive based cost numbers I can put in my brain.
Your comment about Audi reliability surprised me. I have owned about 10 Audis over the last 30 years, including 5 TTs, and I've never had reliability problems with any of them.
Sarah, you always amaze me with your mechanical skills. What a great job you did on this. I also love to wrench on old cars and Honda motorcycles. If I'm lucky enough to be chosen for this car I would keep it in a garage and ensure it gets the very best care. Great video series and I'm looking forward to the Ranger restore. ;)
Sarah, I just love your humor..... you've made my day... Anyway I hope whoever wins this will make the right choice and give it back to you... The tt owner only deserves the one that put there blood, sweat and tears in. And that would be Sarah n tuned.....
Sarah - I'm 100% sure everyone here is proud and amazed at what you have accomplished!! Congrats! The cherry on top was the perma-smile you had while driving it around. It's a beautiful car.
Sarah your as hot as your car's
Did you find out about the heating problem on the TT because my wife’s that’s the same thing anyway big big fn of everything you do
Looks like you done a nice job on the rebuild
I still remember seeing the TT as a concept car in a book when I was a kid, then watching in amazement as it became an actual thing that you could see on the roads. For a model that’s over 20 years old, it still looks futuristic. Great job restoring and even improving on the original design!
Phenomenal job Sarah. Bravo! The TT looks gorgeous.
And Sarah is also looking mighty fine today as well.
You have turned me into a TT fan.
@@bobuncle8704 Yes, Sarah is looking Gorgeous, almost forgot what the video was about.
As a TT owner and lover just can say Thanks Sarah ...
“Brava!”, you mean.
Nobody deserves that car more than you after all the work you did to it.
Well done, Sarah - great that you manged to find the time to get the review done!
Congrats on the 400K subs. 🙂🙃🙂🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
This styling of this car had such a big impact when it came out and looked like nothing else. Even Toshiba laptops of the period used the styling cues of the headlights in their screen casing. Your sense of style really shines with this car and what you have done is brilliant and has been very entertaining to watch. Congratulations on the achievement. ✔
The end of and era-and the start of a new one. Congratulations on finishing TT and 400k subs!!🤗👍
Great job with the TT. I bought one new back in 06 , the 225 model. I upgraded turbo, intercooler, fuel pump, rails, injectors, clutch, exhaust (3 1/2" straight from turbo back to Borla muffler), blow off valve, all new cooling, turbo , intake piping. Two shops did work and then, tuning. I had that little beast dynoed at crazy (for the time) 485HP, 465TQ (crank). I could easily beat Z06s, turboed 350z's ect...... it was a little monster. I had all upgrades done at 14k miles and absolutely drove the p-ss out of it until 95k miles, with luck and proper routine maintenance, not a single thing on the car ever broke. That car was such a blast.
Sarah, It has been a real treat to watching and listening to you this year. Your very good in front of the camera and, and (a stutter...) you somehow seem to stay very clean while wrenching. Your beauty and brains mixed with common sense and patience make you an uncommon UA-camr. I wish you all the success in the future. I be watching. Thank you.
This is the first time I've seen a build online where I liked everything that was done to it and wouldn't change anything. Not that my opinion and tastes mean anything, but well fucking done! Whoever won this is lucky!
Congrats Sarah. Fantastic job. You nailed the mods. Your work ethic and attention to detail are inspiring.
As a hater of all VW/Audi cars because of their garbage reliability in the long term, I LOVE the way this thing turned out!! Great job with the TOT!
This is the reason I follow your channel. You make dreams come true one car at a time.
I enter 3 vehicle giveaways a month and this giveaway bay far is the most I spent my time and money on. The fun is shopping for items and hand printing the ink on each postcard I mailed was fun.

Congrats! Somebody's going to get a very sweet ride!
I miss little Sarah. :(
Also, congrats on 400,000 subs!
Golly. That’s a lot of eating. Is Subway the new sponsor???🤔
@@bobuncle8704 Yup, that's right!! (with that "out-tro" I think Sarah may have a bright future in car sales...) 🤣
We hope little Sara is successful in her current venture.

What a beautiful work of art you've made! Easily one of the best builds on the youtubes.
Thanks, Borg Warner, for building the 02M with crappy, breakable, brass Gear-Selector Forks; really enjoyed taking my Transmission out to replace the Notorious broken brass rivet! - 🖕🏼
Awesome job Sarah! Perseverance and patience. Your work ethic is motivating.
Thank you.
I'm a big fan of things wierd. Love you... lol
If I were to win this, I promise to let you give it the full beans before taking position. You put so much of you into this car, I have no idea how you could give it away....You Rock!!!!
Congratulations. Well done.
Always liked the lines to the TT.
Interior is top notch, Corbeau seats, rear seat delete,
and all the fine details you addressed.
I cracked up when you gave the wrench score of 1.4.
I love this build and the series. You can trust, if this car makes it's way to my garage, It will continue on.
The "Tot" looks amazing, way better than new. Congrats on 400k, on to 1M !!! Hope to see you at SEMA
Sarah, we all love you but I'm afraid that wonderful feeling is just not going to transfer to the Audi. I'll look forward to your next adventure and your awesome innuendos, and maybe I'll keep hoping that a wardrobe malfunction will sneak past editing. Until next time, thanks for the great fun.

🍻🍾🎉 So happy for you Sarah. The work and time you’ve put into this TT, aka Tater Tot! Is unbelievable. You are at the top of your game. ❤️🙏☘️
The car looks amazing,, top job Sarah.. thanks for clearing up how many tots fit in the boot (trunk) i was wondering….great job.
Congratulations Sarah on 400k!!!!! You and your channel deserve it. Can't wait to congratulate you on 500k! The TT looks amazing. It amazes me on how some cars look a little gimmicky when new, but look up to date 20 years later. That Tot is one of those cars.
Great job Sarah, I would even be willing to give up my 1993 Buick Century to own this car. Bill
Grats on getting her done Sarah, we had faith in you!!
You're the best! on to 500k and a Million!
It looks absolutely amazing. You’ve done an incredible job with Tater Tot. I know it’s a little bittersweet to say goodbye. ❤️❤️ we can’t wait to see what other amazing projects you do in the future! Now go take some time off. You need some r&r after this!
So happy you were able to finish it in time to do one your wonderful reviews. When you were giving the final scores, you were a little emotional and it makes sense. You put so much time, energy, and money into this project and wound up with something that is so much better than what you started with. Love your channel!
very tasteful upgrades. Well done. I couldn't give it away after doing that much work. U are a better person than I.
Great work Sarah! It's been a fun journey watching you trouble shoot and restore/mod the car!
I love you and analogy of the car being like a bad child that you love, the cat's shitting on a pillow 🤣🤣🤣, oh yeah the whalegasm button logo 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hi Sarah, you've made one of the best TTs going. Congratulations on the years of hard work paying off. I've always wondered one thing, how does a woman who works in cars almost daily keep such stunning looking nails? 💅🤔🙂

Such a nice thing for you to do Sarah giving this car away. You are truly a class act. Weird and awkward (which is why we love you) but a class act none the less.
I am really impressed with the Celicw I bet you enjoyed driving with your first review it's an awesome car
Congrats on 400K!!! Still hope I win in spite of how much of a pain in the ass that car has been for you over the years. You did a great job bringing it to where it is now.
So this show could have been named Sarah & Sarah `N Tuned !! 🤣 🤣 , awesome job Sarah...
Tenacity is what you have Sarah to complete a project like this...I have been a German car mechanic going on 37 years now - I entered to win...however knowing these cars so well, I pray I don't - even though you made it one of the best TT's in the country 😉
I think by the time I wrap up a few last minute bugs discovered during filming this review it should be good for a while!
I never understood this 8n TT story was problematic. I have a TT 8n 1.8 T 180 since 2006 and never had a single problem with it. Basically, it's just maintenance and nothing else, now it's 190,000 km. Maybe I'm very lucky, or maybe I just know how to estimate my car so I don't get any nasty surprises.
Beautiful job on the car Sarah. I rarely see a TT on the streets anymore. Some lucky viewer will win a classic!
Got to love the way Sarah realises that only she would remove a front sub frame to clean it.
Sarah it is not weird. Honest.
We love you for it. 😊❤👍👍
I can't believe how fast 3.5 years just flew by!

Great review Sarah! Thank you for all of the hard work, blood, sweat and tears you put into this project. Also, thank for you the time you spent editing the video and now that it's done I hope you can get some quality down time.
It is a shame that I’m from Europe. Would love to win this car. Great job on the TT Sarah 👍
Congrats on hitting 400k. Loved the journey with the TT, it’s been fun to watch and damn you sorted that car out. The improvements are spot on for that car.
your braking issue is because bushings are collapsing and it ends up with massive toe-out, you can clearly see from the footage of the front wheel at 10:25
Congratulations! Glad to see it finished, so happy for you!
Love the car and the series. Question - why put French tires on a German car ? Why not Conti s? (German)
Nice to see our favorite Short Stuff again, even if it's only in a flashback.
"The little Audi that could" has really come a long way! Congratulations on such a great achievement, your hard work has really paid off.
I had a 2000 1.8t for 4 years 10 years ago, it was very reliable, only thing was the last year i had it my window on the passenger side went bad. Loved it so much!! Just watch out for that oversteer snapback ob rain and snow.
Congratulations Sarah
I’ve watched every moment you’ve filmed on this project and your standards of work and cleaning abilities stand there with the very best
It’s going to be the best one ever built
I love mine but it’s standard and on snow tyres just for a Scottish winter
I love your mods especially those seats
How you can part with it I’ll never know
🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Love the honesty, hahaha. Great car now!
I remember when you drove it home, a miracle it made it. I lost track of how many times you took that front bumper cover off. The best part of this video is how happy you are driving it.
placed it in service mode
Love it Sarah, I’m sure you’re sad having to let it go but hey ho if you enter the draw you might win it back
Awesome job finishing TeeterTot, Sarah! I remember the day you picked it up. Thanks for not giving up on the car. 👍
I love the emotional attachment to the car you have. Only car people will get it. Hardest car for me to part with was my 2004 Cobra. Was my dream car and owned it for 5 years. Miss it everyday!
Great build and I'm sure the winner will be stoked to get it!
Great review! I confess, that I got a little emotional watching you do this video because of all the time and work you put into it. It felt like we were there with you along the way.
You built the TT like it should have been made Sarah. A no compromise sports car…
I’m going to miss your Teeter-Tot ‘adventures’. It’s been - for me, if not for you - immensely entertaining.
If I were younger and lived on that side of ‘The Pond’, I would love to try to win this car, but as I’m old and live in the U.K., I guess I’ll have to stick with the car I already have. Oh yes, did I mention that it’s an Audi?
Thanks, Sarah. x
Wow Sarah, the TT and you both look stunning in this video. Fantastic job on the TT!
Truthful to the core Sarah, you could have been hyping it since you worked on it but your honesty just makes you shine.
Great job! Always one of my favorite designs. Very, very nice
Teeter Tot is a brand new car. You did a fabulous job on this old Audi. It really sounds great and better than the TT we wrecked on Mission Impossible II.
I would love to own this car.
Great job Sarah well done 👍. And you look absolutely gorgeous 😘😘
Congratulations Sarah , I rember watching your video when you drove to back from Utah, very nice build the new owner will have much fun cruising 😀 in tt
Great job Sarah! I won't enter just cause I live in Maine and don't want to see any of rust happen
You're beaming with pride! As you should! Amazing job! Very nicely done. Looking forward to the Ranger build.
Viewer from the future here: wondering if the winner is taking care of the Tater Tot.
I would be dang proud to be the new owner of TeeterTott. You’ve done an amazing job Sarah. You should be exceptionally proud of what you’ve achieved.
They always say the ones you work on constantly or the most endering and what you will always remember.
I’ll let my friend know about it. It has been fun watching your journey if working on it. Mr-Dos is still my favorite.
Impressive. The car looks gorgeous and love the look you dressed up to present it.
I’ll bet you’re glad to be finished with it😄 it looks great and seems to keep you happy regarding all the upgrades and final performance. A successful project, well documented and impressive in it’s completed form. I hope it’s new owner appreciates what you’ve done as your thinking and efforts border on art. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I’ll be hotly anticipating the next project.
oh it's definitely art
It wasn’t unreliable per sé, just very neglected! Now it’s awesome
I have never seen you smile this much while doing a car review. Just look at her smile when she is going to show the undercarriage of the TT. Emotional Sarah. Very understandable 👌 👏. Great job. 👍
I'd like to get in on TEETER TOT the TT giveaway if possible !
*Thank You* Sarah - @12:54 truly all legit props for your skill and commitment. 👍
How are you not at 1 million subs? Love the videos. The TT looks amazing.
I think you did an amazing job, time considered, doing it yourself, and the original condition in consideration! Would love to own it and meet you in the process! Love your videos and content, keep up the great work!
The time and money you put into thjs thing must be hitting the 60 grand territory. So it`s safe to say this has to be the best resto TT on youtube. I hope it ends up worth your while. It definitly will be to the person that wins it.
You really think it’s that much?! That’s double what I would have guessed. One thing Sarah doesn’t do a lot of is breaking down costs and prices of projects. Not a big deal, but it is always interesting to know. Being a detailer/car flipper, I always look for all the automotive based cost numbers I can put in my brain.
Time you had. Worked out it did.
Your comment about Audi reliability surprised me. I have owned about 10 Audis over the last 30 years, including 5 TTs, and I've never had reliability problems with any of them.
TeeterTot looks amazing, well done getting it to where it is. The new owner will be a lucky person
The Upper AC vents hold your loose change for all the European toll stops
Sarah, you always amaze me with your mechanical skills. What a great job you did on this. I also love to wrench on old cars and Honda motorcycles. If I'm lucky enough to be chosen for this car I would keep it in a garage and ensure it gets the very best care. Great video series and I'm looking forward to the Ranger restore. ;)
Sarah, I just love your humor..... you've made my day... Anyway I hope whoever wins this will make the right choice and give it back to you... The tt owner only deserves the one that put there blood, sweat and tears in. And that would be Sarah n tuned.....
Great Job!!! Thank You… :-) I’ve watched every episode as they came out and loved all the work done to it…
I have a 01 a6 2.7t its a never ending project I feel this
